Reply to "Frozen head bolt / engine reconditioning"

larrywMember

Sorry we weren't clear before.
We were using a 1/2" drive Allen brand hex key socket with the 30" breaker bar, not an "L" shaped key. We also gave a Snap-On 1/2" impact wrench with 150 PSI air its opportunity too. Nothing.
We return to the project Friday.
We're going to cut off the twisted bit of the hex key to leave just what we need to engage the socket in the bolt head and try the Snap-On impact again. Or a bigger one. I have a 1" drive electric version I can adapt down.
If that doesn't work, I think we'll be cutting the head off the bolt. Probably use a cut off blade in a small angle grinder.
Easy access with the engine out on a stand.
